This article summarizes the work of the Comparative Cognitive Testing Workgroup, an international coalition of survey methodologists interested in developing an evidence-based methodology for examining the comparability of survey questions within cross-cultural or multinational contexts. To meet this objective, it was necessary to ensure that the c...
This article evaluates a Cross National Error Source Typology that was developed as a tool for making cross-national questionnaire design more effective. Cross-national questionnaire design has a number of potential error sources that are either not present or are less common in single nation studies. Tools that help to identify these error sources...
A social indicators approach to trust in justice recognizes that the police and criminal courts need public support and institutional legitimacy if they are to operate effectively and fairly. In order to generate public cooperation and compliance, these institutions must demonstrate to citizens that they are trustworthy and that they possess the au...
A social indicators approach to trust in justice recognises that the police and criminal courts need public support and institutional legitimacy if they are to operate effectively and fairly. We present in this paper the conceptual and methodological tools to devise indicators of trust and legitimacy across Europe. First, we outline the conceptual...

... It reveals how respondents in different cultures and languages process and answer survey questions (Willis and Miller, 2011) and helps to evaluate the questionnaire translations (Harkness, 2003). Although sample sizes tend to be higher in CCCI (Willis, 2015), low case numbers per country (e.g., around 20 cases per country in (Fitzgerald et al., 2011)) do not allow for an assessment of the prevalence of identified issues, and conclusions on the differences between country-specific patterns might be difficult (Braun et al., 2019). In addition, setting up a CCCI study comes with practical (e.g., recruitment and training of interviewers) and harmonization challenges (e.g., comparability of results across countries) (Miller, 2019;Willis, 2015). ...
... Data for this study are from the Voices Heard computer-assisted telephone interview survey [18], which was designed to measure perceptions of barriers and facilitators to participating in medical research studies that collect biomarkers (e.g., saliva and blood) among respondents from four groups defined by their ethnoracial identification (i.e., Black, Latino, American Indian, and White) [19]. We employed a quota sampling strategy because screening to identify members in non-White groups would have been prohibitively expensive. ...
... Before we arrive at our conclusion, we underline the limitations of our two studies. There is an enormously productive body of research on the specifics of measuring attitudes towards the police (Jackson et al., 2010(Jackson et al., , 2011Jackson & Gau, 2016;Tankebe, 2013;Tankebe, Reisig, & Wang, 2016). The three-level item used here is limited in terms of construct validity. ...
... This might result from a stronger health selection process to unemployment. However, SW was best in Northern Europe, which might in turn be partly due to the typically high trust in the region [75]. When exploring SRH across genders, we found that women reported lower SRH than men in all the regions. ...
